The books know the public is going to be on Washington, so they setup for a Washington loss. Why isn't Washington at least a -3.0 favorite? Because they don't want to give the Ravens points.

Ravens +1.0.

Personally, the only situation I wouldn't take the Redskins is if the line were to move above -3. Right now it's -2.5. This by no means a sure pick, but I'm confidant Washington will pull this out. Not because of last week's loss to the Steelers. But if you've watched and followed the Ravens this season like I have, you'll notice that they simply are NOT the same team that they used to be in the past. The defense can't stop the run and the secondary is suffering without Webb. Ngata hasn't been the same force he was last year. Suggs (if he even plays), who knows how effective he'll be with the torn bicep.

To me, this a lot of red flags for Baltimore. They've played horrible for three week in a row, and in finally caught up to them last week. The Redskins however have been rolling, winning three straight. Washington's offense matches up so well against that banged up Ravens defense.

Now unless the Redskins play defense like they did last week against the Giants, Flacco could have a very good game as well. So far this year he has under preformed on the road, to say the least. But this is a secondary that has given up a lot of yards and big plays. Maybe the Redskins have turned a new leaf, but not likely. Expect this game to go down to the last possession.

You are totally right. I completly forgot about that angle. But in this case, I think it holds less meaning because the Redskins are coming off the shorter work week from the Monday Night game.

For some damn reason, I am just looking for a way to fade this RG III mania. I think Baltimore is the better team and I like that they are coming off a loss. The Skins are starting to get a little too much respect. So they beat the Eagles, Cowboys, and Giants since their bye week. I don't like their chances of winning 4 in a row, something they haven't done all season. And I don't like the chances of the Ravens losing 2 in a row. Something they also haven't done all season.

Good luck

True, True. There are so many ways/angles to look at the game from. That's what makes this a tricky business is to figure out and decipher between the correct winning angles, and the losing, illusionary angles. (lol)

I agree with what Sixburgh said above. Baltimore doesn't seem to be quite the same team lately, and ever since Rey Lewis was injured a few weeks back, they've looked even worse. Although they've always been suspect on the road, they barely beat the Chargers in that game a couple of weeks ago...they were super dominant at home as well, winning over 20 in a row during the regular season I believe...and then now they just lost to Pitt at home, which you would think they would of been up for that game.

Also the streaky thing is tricky...as you wouldn't expect a good team to lose 2 in a row..but I think losing 2 in a row is more likely than losing 1 game if you can see my point on how things come in streaks, it's almost a no play here, as this could be a classic coin flip matchup we're looking at. I would go with the teaser rather than the spread on this one, Baltimore or Redskins, either should be ok on the teaser

RG3's team is 6-6. A fuble that pooped"" into the WR's hands and goes in for a TD is not something you get excited about. The Ravens will show up on Sunday, and don't be shocked if Haloti Ngata sits on him. Baltimore +3

Redskins on the road is a risky proposition. I have Washington in a parlay. I wish I had off just laid off this game entirely as their are to many unknowns but I know Flacco and the Ravens on the road there is no way I would take the Ravens for that reason. Coming off a physical match with Pitt makes the situation for Balti worse. I have had the shittiest year this year but I found a way to make money anyways at this fantasy site. Playing against one or multiple players. Like taking candy from a baby and they accept credit cards and paypal as it is considered a skill game so it is legal in 49 states. Check it out guys. Let's make some money!!!

Did you see how much oxygen J.P.P., Tuck, and the rest of the Giants "D" line was sucking on the sidelines after chasing R.G. III around for 3 plus quarters last week? The announcers even mentioned something about it during the game.

Now, insert Ngata and a gimpy Suggs, no Lewis across the middle, and the Ravens on the road in that scenario?

i love when i see Vue on the opposite side. and once again, hes attracted to the team thats been actin like more of the "loser" these days while Skins are on a roll. why should RG3 have to come down to earth now? cuzz Ravens just let Charlie Batch beat them? and now Ravens will be without thier stud linebacker Suggs to stop him.

love Skins at home fighting for the wild card spot. at least u know ur gonna get some scores out of RG3 / Morris & Co. but u just cant count on that inconsistent offense of baltimore's.....

Actually I also love being on the other side. That means you're about to lose. Hey, even your buddy Sammy agrees with me. Ahh- too bad you're alone in your loser world-boo hoo!

If the Ravens weren't so offensively bad on the road, and had a healthy Suggs, Lewis, or both I'd be all over Baltimore. The Ravens have been getting gashed on the ground all year long, and here comes the Skins averaging over 160 yds/game. I've personally never torn my bicept but a guy I work with has, and he told me if Suggs can run around and tackle guys the size of Alfred Morris, then he can probably stop a bullet too. I can't see how he can be effective stopping what Washington does well. The Redskins are more afraid of Eli Manning than they are of Joe Flacco, so I look to them to load the box to stop Ray Rice and force Flacco to beat them with his arm.

I know the Ravens have a good record and beat Pittsburgh and Byron Leftwich on the road, but their other road wins this season were against Kansas City, San Diego, Cleveland, and road losses to Houston and (ugh...) Philadelphia.

I wouldn't trust Flacco's arm to score on my high school team right now.....
